You might need to store data that is not being stored by existing systems. It is undoubtedly very difficult to find the need for storing data that are not stored in the transaction processing systems.

You might need to validate data by transaction process systems. Once data is in warehouse, inconsistencies might crop up. These inconsistencies might be in the field of ‘descriptive’ information. For example, no control is put on customer name. You can have ‘DEC’, ‘Digital’ and ‘Digital Equipment’ in the database.

It is often called ‘granularity’ problem. Often, resources skilled in feeder system are under budgeted.
